Give the Gift of Impeachment
(from my inbox ... I already have the "Impeach Cheney?" cap and am happy to admit it does elicit people to inquire)

How would you like to give the best holiday gift ever? And what if it
cost you absolutely nothing? By speaking out on the issue of
impeachment, you have ALREADY contributed to that gift on the
installment plan, the gift of constitutional rule of law, to be
cherished for generations to come.

We just need to keep speaking out, in greater and greater numbers,
and keep encouraging everyone we know and encounter to do the same,
and we bring that gift home. Today, we learned that a 23rd member of
the House, Raul Grijalva (AZ), has signed on to H.Res 799 (previously
H.Res. 333) to impeach Cheney first.

And what better way to spread the holiday message of impeachment than
with the ultimate mobilization tool, a collector's item "Impeach
Cheney?" cap to give to a friend or family member? We have nearly
another 1,000 packed up ready to do out tomorrow for those of you
have requested one in the last week or so, and we want to make sure
everyone who wants one can get one before the holidays.

If you want us to send you one, as someone who has already made their
voice heard on one of the impeachment action pages, all you have to
do is email us back and send us a mailing address and we will send
you one for no charge, not even shipping. And all we ask of you is
this: If you CAN make a donation of any amount, to help us keep this
movement building, please instead use the following page to make your
request, and remember that your donation is what makes it possible to
send all these free caps to those who cannot afford anything at all.

IMPEACHMENT CAPS: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_cheney_cap.php

And please also remember you are not just helping with the cap
initiative. You also know that we are even now in the middle of
shipping out the THIRD printing of 25,000 full color 11x17 Impeach
Cheney posters, going up on college campuses all over the country.
We're probably going to drop upward of a couple thousand dollars
tomorrow just for the poster shipping alone. Maybe you would like a
poster to give out as a gift instead. Maybe you would like a cap AND
a poster. If so, please use this page instead.

IMPEACHMENT POSTER: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_cheney_flyer.php

And again, if you want a poster, just email us back with a mailing
address and we'll send you one. Or if you only want to just help with
a contribution to defray these mounting shipping costs, please use
the form above to do that.

Or maybe you would like to also join the now 1,400 volunteers we
already have spreading out all over college campuses all over the
country, forming into Impeach Teams in virtually every major city in
the country. Just submit the form above and request as many posters
as you like, and we'll do everything we can to get them to you as
soon as possible. And you if can't contribute anything, to even cover
the postage, email us, tell us you want to help, that you want to be
on the Impeach Team, and we will come through for you.

The developments of the last couple days have finally stunned even
the mainstream media, with the revelation that Cheney and Bush have
been fear-mongering a new war in Iran even as they knew their nuclear
weapon boogie man was totally bogus. It is reported that top CIA
senior intelligence officers were literally prepared to go to jail by
leaking the new NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) if it were not
released.

And what makes it so egregious, is that Cheney himself, just as in
the cooking of the intelligence books in the run up to the Iraq
invasion has been all over the CIA pressuring them to change their
conclusions. Again and again, over the last year, he has rejected
this same NIE, demanding that it be done over and over. And when
finally he could contain the truth no longer he lies again and tells
us they wanted us to have the information.

Some may think this must surely be the end of the road of their
planned Iran attack. But they are so pathologically unrepentant that
we can take no such assurance. The way we see their rabid dogs on the
extreme right jumping all over the cable TV channels trying to Swift
Boat the CIA, while at the same time dismissing their conclusions,
tell us they have learned nothing, and are not interested in learning
anything.

When you hear Bush claim, as he did today, that he takes the NIE
report as some kind of affirmation, you know we are dealing with the
truly incorrigible, and that the current administration REMAINS an
immediate and ongoing danger to the peace and security of our own
country and the entire world. When you hear Cheney again growl about
the necessity for "serious consequences", you know there must be
serious consequences for the shredding of our constitution and the
betrayal of our worldwide strategic interests, and those serious
consequences are impeachments.

Only impeachment will stop them. Only impeachment.

Has it ever been more apparent, watching Bush stumble through yet
another press conference, telling lie after documentable lie, each
one bigger than the last, that's he's just reading from Cheney's crib
notes for him? Has it ever been more apparent that the bottom line
problem is Cheney and his behind the scenes manipulations, from the
day he manipulated the process into installing himself as Vice
President? And rest assured of one thing, that once Cheney is
impeached that Bush will quickly follow.

Give Kucinich Some Holiday Cheer As Well

And let us not forget on our holiday list the one person who has more
real leadership in his little finger on the impeachment issue than
all the other politicians in Washington put together. If you are so
blessed that you can make a donation to Dennis Kucinich, to encourage
him to continue to fight for constitutional accountability, please
use the form below to do that.

KUCINICH DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/donations_kucinich.php

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
